Parents who are freelancers/self-employed, what do you do when your kid is home sick? Do you just sort of give up on getting work done?

🎮 Finished Link’s Awakening.

Super fun!

📺🎄 Watched Christmas Flow, mostly for the Parisian locations.

📺 Watched Emily in Paris. All of it, fairly quickly.

Gorgeous views of Paris and fun to see how much of the French I understood but I don’t find Emily herself particularly winning (she’s like a caricature of what Boomers think Millennials are like).

Finished reading: Then Came You by Lisa Kleypas 📚

Classic 90s pre-Victorian historical, medium spice level.

📺 Watching Emily in Paris, mostly for the gorgeous locations and Sylvie’s fashion. Emily’s relationships with men stress me out.

I just shared in a fibromyalgia Facebook group what it takes for me to get decent sleep. Thought I’d share here as well:

• 300mg gabapentin (prescription)
• 250mg GABA
• 10mg melatonin
• 50mg CBD oil
• 900mg oral magnesium
• 400mg topical magnesium

All selected with my doctor.

Finished reading: The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun 📚

Lovely! What if the dude who was producing The Bachelor fell in love with the bachelor? This book is all kinds of sweet and affirming, with great queer, neurodivergence, race, and mental illness rep.

My kid has started randomly singing “Bela Lugosi’s dead” (like, that one phrase) so I can retire now. My adorable babybat.

🍿 Watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Can’t believe I’ve never seen this before. Surprised to find that Sean Penn was my favorite part of the film, but then, Jeff Spicoli is a spiritual big brother to Ted Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esquire, so it makes sense.
